View 4 RepliesI am trying to create a hyperlink in my text field that when clicked will take you a website target a _blank page.I have created a text field and input the website through xml - src, I put the text field inside a movieclip - link, i created a sprite and put that in the movieclip. However anytime that I try to click it, no matter the configuration I get one of two errors: Error #1069: Property loader not found on flash.text.TextField and there is no default value.^^Is the most common The other one is I believe Error #1010 Can not target and object of null reference?? Something along those lines.
My Code:
var link:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var anchor:Sprite = new Sprite();
anchor.graphics.drawRect(265, 235, 690, 20);
anchor.graphics.beginFill(0x00ff00);

I'm pulling data from an XML file into dynamic text fields in Flash. I have a field where I want to pull in a different url for each node, but display the same text and I'm not sure how to set that up.
View 4 RepliesI have a text input field called 'phone' and a button with the GetUrl function. Button script looks like this:
on (release){getURL("http://url/sendlink.page?country=160&phone=phone&keyword=33&msgtype=26", "", "POST");}
First of all when I press the button nothing happens. When I paste the link directly into my browser everythinbg works as it should. But not from flash file.
adding the 'phone' variable into the hyperlink. What do I write? Something like this: [URL]
Am working on a website and just doing the final tests and evrything works apart from in internet explorer 7 when i click on the hyperlink( flash button) it says it can't find the url, which doen't make any sense as it works fine using mozilla.
View 1 RepliesI have a code that clear textfield when you click inside. My problem is that I have to many text fields so i am trying to write some function that can be used for all the text fields.
What I can't do is to add some other property to the textfield like I can do with any variable. So my code is:
// nome is a textField
var nome:TextField;
nome.text = "ol�" // text displayed inside the text field
[Code]....
I have a button symbol on the top layer in a flash file. I have it fade in and on the last frame of the tween, I placed an action of:
on (release) {
getURL("[URL]", "_blank");
}
I copied that frame and pasted it on the last frame of the movie. When I play the movie, I get the mouse-over for the button, but when I click, nothing happens. How do I get the url to work?
I have the following xml and would like to have it so that title1, title2, etc are each hyperlinked to a certain URL, so if the user clicked on title1 for example they would be directed to [url]....
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<SCM_APO>
<data Title="title1" Description="description1"/>[code]..............
Currently I'm using javascript which works fine to pass text from textfield A to textfield B:
Code:
window.onload=function()
{
document.forms.form1.shirtText.value=document.forms.form1.KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38.value
}
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.
Is it possible to login through flash using one Dynamic Text Field and one Input Text Field and no buttons? If so how? I have seen many tutorials dealing with logging in to PHP using flash but it requires you to make your own php scripts which i am not familiar with. Can some one tell me how to do this with PHPBBs existing php scripts... I want to be able to login thorugh a Input Text Field box and have it verify it in PHP and also be able to register and view other PHP info such as users online and FAQ..

View 1 RepliesI'm making a calculator using Flash MX that works the same way as the basic calculator found on windows (not the scientific one). But having the user input a number, store it as a variable, store which function the user wants to perform and clear the text field then store the new input in the same text field as a different variable and multiply or add or divide or subtract the 2 numbers and getting the equals sign to display the answer when clicked is harder than I thought it would be.
View 3 RepliesI am working on a file that has a rotating dial, and I'd like the dial to reveal contents of a text field (a link) as the dial points in the direction of the text field. I have 4 text fields located at 90, 180, 270 and 360 degrees (top, bottom, left and right). I have it controlled via AS, so I've got all the Math but I was hoping someone might know how to reveal the links when the arrow (in the dial) is pointing in these directions.I set up a text field for testing, which shows the degrees, but I'm getting 'NaN' in the field (problems with Theta and converting degrees to Radians, I think). I thought this might help me figure out how to reveal those links, if I can get the NaN to work.Currently, the file is rotating with an onPress, but I'm going to convert it to a mouse follow, instead, so the user only has to float around to see the links.
View 5 RepliesI have an AS3 flash movie and each page is a new frame. On my pages are dynamic scrollable text boxes that I created with the text tool. I would like to be able to make a piece of text a link (ex. click here for prices) so that it will direct the view to another page (label). I cannot figure out how to do so.

View 38 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is to write something in an input field and then it should show up in a dinamic field. I can make this happen, but the problem is that the dinamic field shows its new text in the same format as the Input field. For example, the input text is written in TimesNewRoman and the dinamic text is in Arial, but when the dinamic text shows the input, the text is still in TimesNewRoman when I want it to be in Arial.
View 11 RepliesI've created a dynamic text field - mediaImportName001 (created , and populated it with the name of a file that I choose to import using a browse button (as3 and AIR).This works fine - I can import the file, and the name appears in the field.
I'd now like to pass the contents of the text field to another text field. But I can't get the contents. If I try to trace the contents of the textField trace("mediaImportName"+thisNum).text - Flash returns "undefined" (even though I'm asking it to trace after the field has been populated).
I use the following code to check that the field really is there and named correctly (the code returns the children):
for (var i:uint = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++){ trace (this.getChildAt(i).name + ' type:' + typeof (this.getChildAt(i))+ ' ' + this.getChildAt(i));}
it returns:
instance370 type:object [object Shape]mediaImportName001 type:object [object TextField]mediaFiletype001 type:object [object TextField]
How do I get Flash to give me the text in mediaImportName001?
It's bizarre - this.getChildAt(i).name
from above gives me...
mediaImportName001 ,
yet
trace (["mediaImportName"+thisNum].name);
returns undefined (thisNum represents an increment I use to name multiple clips and text fields, and in this case trace(thisNum); returns 001)
I created a table in flash that holds some informations in rows (something like: Date, Company, Article - per one row). All entries are made by one single XML file. My objective was to create a DOWNLOAD ARTICLE button, or at least hyperlink TEXT so one can download a file related to the information given.
I made an intelligent trick I've putted invisible buttons in every row and hyperlinked them (in Flash, not XML) with general names (01.doc, 02.doc, 03.doc...) as this table is meant to be updated.
If you don't understand what I'm talking about, enter here to see the table in function [URL]
I'm creating a swf that will go on a web page. It involves a circle which is divided into several portions, each of which must link to a different site. I've created the circle and a simple animation that will serve as the hover state for each of the segments, now all I need to do is get the appropriate links implemented. I know how to add a link to text in Flash, but is there an easy way to add one to another element such as a movie clip?
View 6 RepliesThis is killing me - I have looked everywhere and cannot find a truly actionscript solution to creating a hyperlink in text and to have the color of the text change on rollover. I am doing the following
ActionScript Code:
menu1TXT.htmlText = '<a href="event:featured">featured</a><br/>'
I am not really excited about doing css solutions so I was hoping for a different solution. In fact a better solution then htmlText would be even better. I really like the power of the "addEventListener".
I've been trying to build a user interface that would allow someone to change the content of a dynamic field (loaded from a text file) using a rich text editor. However the editor inserts inline css style tags like <span style="text-decoration: underline;"> which Flash aparently can't understand. If the editor were instead to insert the following: <span class="ul"> where the stylesheet defined it as:

I am working in Flash CS5 and I have placed a text field (dynamic, classic text) on the stage. I am accessing it through Actionscript on the same frame like this:
var ct:TextField = TextField(getChildByName("Temperature"));
ct.text = "Hello world";
What ACTUALLY appears is this: So... The H, Ls, and D are gone. Mysteriously. Without warning. I am sitting here utterly confused. Is this just me?
PS. The text field is set to Myriad Pro Bold, a font on my computer, so it isn't like it's a font problem.
I have made a movie clip which I export to ActionScript 3.
In this movie clip I have drawn a text field (area? well TEXT) using the plain "Text Tool".
After selecting the text, and after I have entered "0" to be displayed, I edit its properties. It's Instance Name, defined at the very top of the list I have written "score". The text engine is TLF Text and the text type "Read only".
When I have made a instance of the movie clip using AS3 I can't get the value of the text instance named "score" - when calling something like trace(getChildByName("score")) in the constructor I just get null.
I want to be able to get the value of the text "score", and I would also like to change its value.
Just how do I get the value from ActionScript? I don't want to have to create the text progamatically and position it, and I doubt that I have to.
I am trying to show input text to another text field on run time. I want to show the myOutputBox with in a movie clip. The code is below:
Actionscript 3
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Stage;
[Code]....
whats the code
on (release) {
nextImage.text.copy();???
}
i dont know if im in the correct area
Im currently doing a quiz, which, after the user completes all the questions, displays the users score and depending on that score, a certain message ie
if (score<=2) {
Score_Msg.text =" That was poor!":
} else if (score<=5) {
Score_Msg.text = "You know a bit but not much";
}
In the text, i want to include a hyperlink. Is there anyway of making certain parts of dynamically loaded txt into a hyperlink?
Ok, it is possible to create a hyperlink in a dynamic text box. But it is possible to load a Movieclip from this hyperlink, instead a web address?
View 5 RepliesI have a project where I'm working in Flash CS4 on a presentation that runs in ActionScript 1.0. I need certain lines of text to be hyperlinks. I have two instances in which there is an e-mail link and a URL link which are part of a larger block of text, and one instance with just the URL alone. So far I used the method where I used the Properties window to make the box static text and the text fields I require have been made into links, as well as making other instance dynamic text. Thing is the HTML version of the file works all right, but the swf version doesn't hyperlink properly. If I click on the link, it accesses my browser but does nothing else. Let me know if there's anything else I need to elaborate on from my end.
